More About School Buses
You're never limited to a single fleet when you rent through Charterbusrentalmonterey.com, and that's exactly the point. The network includes both school bus rentals sized for smaller and larger groups. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a smart pick for compact field trip groups or youth organization outings around Monterey.
Need more room? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults (plenty of space for a full classroom headed to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (886 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940) or a student group touring the Presidio of Monterey Museum (Corporal Ewing Road, Monterey, CA 93944)). The Aquarium's school bus drop-off is directly in front of the Bechtel Education Center, and buses then park on Foam Street, David Avenue or Prescott Avenue, so the whole class steps off together right where check-in happens.

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
View instant online quotes and vehicle photos before you ever pick up the phone... that's what makes Charterbusrentalmonterey.com different from calling company after company across Monterey. School buses in the network can come equipped with padded bench seating, climate control, overhead storage, and PA systems that keep students engaged and chaperones sane on longer rides. Whether you are transporting a group of young learners to Point Lobos State Natural Reserve (Route 1, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923) for an outdoor science day or shuttling a performing arts group to the Sunset Center, the right school bus amenities make every mile count for your group.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve requires a special event permit for all buses and a reservation for all school groups, and while vehicles over 21 feet can't drive or park in the reserve, permitted school field trip buses may be allowed in to drop off and pick up students. Mention your Point Lobos plans when you request your quote, so the whole class can ride together and nobody is stuck driving.
